lol ex-arm's explanation for the ex-arms coming into being is just a scientist saying "i've ascertained them to be a gift from space"

they also built two android bodies for akira, and gave one to a ex-arm with outer space brain matter for no reason, and they never say why. it goes crazy, probably because it doesn't have akira's brain, but also, why did they just build a second akira body to gently caress around with. lol

e: the final boss is now just making adam sandler noises

e: e: wait the aunctioneer's android became rapidly old when it was drained or something.... it's an android body how does it become old

e: e: e: oh it was someone else that just also happened to be stabbed in the same location. the models are just really bad and you can't tell ancillary characters apart even 11 episodes in

e: e: e: e: no okay it was the auctioneer, they just played around with chronology in the episode for no reason, or they accidentally played scenes in the wrong order

lol the final plan is to detonate a bunch of nuclear missles 100km into the stratosphere to cause an EMP explosion that disables all of japan's technology

it's the hero's plan, not the villain's

e: wait the anime just ends with the explosion lmao. no aftermath

e: e: WAIT what the gently caress there is plenty of working technology in the post-credits scene. this is so stupid

alright so i have now watched all of ex-arm

even if it had A-class animation, lusciously painted backgrounds, and superb direction, it would still be a mediocre-to-bad sci-fi anime (so I guess i'm saying I have no interest in reading the manga even if the quality is better there)

it was kind of like a high school kid writing his first sci-fi story after reading the back cover to the VHS of ghost in the shell, and he had also just played metal gear solid and went to make dinner during the ending

there are multiple characters that turn traitor that just don't matter, like it's not like they were this lovable character you grew attached to, and their sudden change doesn't really impact the plot. one character is being controlled by Beta (the antagonist) but it has no impact on the story whatsoever as he sheds that body immediately after discovery, and there's only one point in the whole season where that character attempted any kind of shenanigans, which was right in the final arc. one character is unceremoniously killed in a 5 second flashback where they go "by the way, this character died" and you're like oh no.. i guess... they had some sort of leadership role... that we didn't see much of



there are no real heady concepts here, as the story's final arc where all the messages are meant to be conveyed are the most basic "humans like war" "NO! humans also love!" back and forth. all the while a really long, really bad JRPG final boss fight is happening. and I mean JRPG final boss as it literally has three phases with different designs and it's clear that this studio's only past pedigree is in doing support work for video games.

in the end i was mostly seeing if, by the end of production, maybe at least one of the people working on the show would have worked out how to make the rigs emote. there is a hand-drawn character that changes expressions at least once per shot, in the final episode, although the hand-drawn art is still incompetently composited into the shot, as she zooms and pans at a different speed than the 3d characters. but hey, they actually tried to animate her hair blowing in the wind, and the person who did that probably got paid $10 if they're lucky for that animation loop before being shown the door

i had wondered if this would be a Knack-type situation where people ironically enjoy it to the point that it has a level of popularity that tricks the production companies into funding a second season, but there's no way in hell. just too many quality anime in the winter for anyone to even give this show any atttention

so i guess that's a good thing. but we'll probably not have another production on a level this bad for a while. i hope the next time it happens it's a fully hand-drawn disaster
